Investing in children is one of the most powerful ways to shape the future
For every dollar invested in solutions for children, the socioeconomic benefits are tenfold. Communities grow stronger, economies grow faster and the world becomes safer for everyone.
Together, we have delivered transformational results. Here’s how:
More children survive today than ever before.
Nearly 8 million more children in the world this year will reach their fifth birthday, compared to 1990 – a 60% decline in child mortality.
UNICEF and partners have contributed to this remarkable achievement by improving maternal and child healthcare services and strengthening disease prevention in countries across the world.
Today, a quarter of all births happen in UNICEF-supported health centres.
Vaccines have saved 154 million lives in the last 50 years.
As the world’s largest vaccine supplier, UNICEF procures and distributes enough vaccines to immunize 45% of the world's children each year.
In 2023, UNICEF supplied 2.8 billion vaccine doses to 105 countries, safely reducing the scourge of preventable diseases that keep children from walking, playing and learning. Through widespread immunizations, polio is on the brink of elimination.
Safe water is available to over 2.1 billion more people compared to 20 years ago.
With support from UNICEF and partners, more than a quarter of the world's population gained access to safe and clean drinking water in the past two decades.
UNICEF is the largest provider of water, sanitation and hygiene services globally, and leads coordinated emergency response efforts that keep children connected to safe water in roughly 85% of countries affected by crisis.
The number of children with stunted growth and development due to malnutrition has declined by 40% since 2000.
For more than two decades, UNICEF has been the world’s largest supporter of programmes to protect and promote breastfeeding, complementary foods and nutrient supplements, along with services for the early detection and treatment of severe malnutrition.
We secure up to 80% of global demand for ready-to-use therapeutic food.
In 2024 alone, UNICEF helped more than 250 million children with nutrition services.
Fewer kids are out of school.
Roughly half of the world's primary-school-aged children were out of school in the early 1950s. Today, that's dropped to 10%.
UNICEF works with governments in more than 100 countries to keep children learning.
Since 2021, we've supported over 25 million out-of-school children with access to education in a classroom, 30 million children with access to education through digital platforms, and nearly 60 million children with individual learning materials.
Every milestone for children has been possible because people like you chose to act. But we are at a crossroads. Decades of progress are under pressure from climate change, conflict, and inequality. Governments are pulling back even as crises grow and millions of children still wake up each day without clean water, nutrition or the chance to go to school.
A better future for every child is within reach. And when we build it, the whole world benefits.
